Purpose and Content of this Blog

Purpose

The purpose of the blog is to showcase current and past work from my exploration of communication in theory and in practice. With the work featured, I hope to clearly demonstrate my growth and trajectory as a communicator in both a public/professional sphere and a private sphere. 

Content

Links to content are to the right of this post.

The theme of the research I have done over the course of my education is clearly focused on international development, social justice and modern social issues. In this way, applying communication practices to my studies has allowed me to see issues more clearly and communicate my own stance with added authority and insight. I have been able to practice communication tools such as persuasion, applying ethics, critique, and evaluating sources - tools which appear throughout these research pieces. Through this content I hope to illustrate the milestones that have brought me to my current understanding of communications as it applies to my understanding of education, response/criticism and research work as well as reveal my overall career focus on communication for social change.

Additional Links

I have provided additional links to my professional writing portfolio, LinkedIn Profile and personal blog as well. These sources illustrate a more expanded application of communication studies as it applies to my work experience and private processing.
